FEMA Disaster Recovery Center Open in Dorado and Toa Baja

San Juan, Puerto Rico – Survivors of the severe storm, flooding, and landslides that occurred Feb. 4 - 6, 2022 can meet with FEMA specialists and apply for disaster assistance at two Disaster Recovery Centers (DRC) in Dorado and Toa Baja.

Residents affected by the February storms can get help with their disaster assistance applications, upload documents and get questions answered. Representatives from the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) are also on hand at both DRCs to provide program information and explain how to apply for SBA’s low-interest disaster loans for homeowners, businesses, private nonprofits, and renters, and provide literature about repairs and rebuilding to make homes more disaster resistant.

Hazard Mitigation will have a Community Education Outreach Specialist on site to assist survivors in preparing for future incidents. 

The DRCs are located at:

Hours:

Monday: 7:30 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Tuesday-Sunday: 7:30 a.m. to 6 p.m.
